Cedar, cream, hay/bready notes, earth, black pepper, cocoa/coffee, nutsEl Septimo designed the Culinary Art Collection as an everyday, table‑side series: four parejo sizes tied to wine and culinary themes but sharing a single, approachable blend. The wrapper is Ecuadorian Connecticut over an Ecuadorian Habano binder, with fillers from the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Brazil; reviewers note the tobaccos were aged prior to release. Smoking character is mild to mild‑medium with medium body — cedar and cream up front, hay/bready top notes, then earth and a gentle black‑pepper lift. Midpalate touches of cocoa, light coffee and nuts appear on some vitolas. Construction tends toward straight burns and dependable output, though a few reviews mention occasional tight draws or delicate wrapper handling. The collection's strength is thematic clarity: a consistent, food‑friendly Connecticut profile across four sizes.
